Japanese people

[mrmvp]

I have seen my posts used the word "people" after an adjective (nationality) My question is, Is it possible to omit the word "people" ? and Should I pluralize or singularize the adjective to avoid using the word "people" ? Here are some examples:

1-Many people around the world like Japanese people. Is it possible to omit the word "people"?

2-Some Qataris people have family relationships with other Gulf countries.Is it possible to omit the word "people"

3-Egyptian people have a timeless civilization.Should I say Egyptians ?

1-Many people around the world like Japanese people. Is it possible to omit the word "people"?

Yes, if you add "the". Many people around the world like the Japanese. Adding "the" and omitting "people" changes "Japanese" from an adjective to a noun.

2-Some Qataris people have family relationships with other Gulf countries.Is it possible to omit the word "people"

Yes, you should omit people because you've used "Qataris" (a noun). If you want to include "people", you need "Qatari" (an adjective).

3-Egyptian people have timeless civilization.Should I say Egyptians ?

"Timeless" doesn't make sense to me. What does it mean here?

The same principle applies. Substituting another adjective, "ancient", for "timeless", you can say:
[The] Egyptians have an ancient civilisation. "The" is optional.
The Egyptian people have an ancient civilisation.

(Note that "the" is needed and not optional for "Japanese" if you aren't using the word "people". Demonyms like "Japanese" and "Chinese" work differently from those like "Egyptians" and "Americans".)

Do you mean that adjectives, such as chinese and japanese don't take "s" when using it as a noun? Here are some examples:

1- The Japanese have unique eating manners. Japanese is a noun and we can't add "s" as in Americans and Qataris

2- The Chinese have unique civilization.

Do you mean that adjectives, such as "Cchinese" and "Jjapanese" don't take "s" when using themit as a nouns?

Yes, that's one of the differences.

1- The Japanese have unique eating manners.

The use of "The Japanese" is fine, but what do you mean by "eating manners"? You either mean "table manners" (etiquette while eating) or "eating habits" (food habits and preferences).

2- The Chinese have unique civilization.

The Chinese have a unique civilisation.
